Lightning Talks are short, five minute talks/presentation on just about any topic, as long as they are related to FOSS.

To learn more about what Lightning talks are, and why (and how) you should give one (or more), check out

All lightning talks happen in the 60 seater hall (to avoid freaking out newbie speakers). To participate, you register with the hall marshal, who will allot you a time slot.

The rules of the game are simple - you start talking at the first bell, you stop talking at the last bell. You will be given a warning at the 4th minute, and you are off the stage at the end of the 5th minute, even if you have not finished your sentence!
